The truck is a 92 F-150 4X4 with the 531.

Ok, this is the first time I've ever run into this. I've done the plugs and wires many times before, and never had a problem, now its acting like 2 or 3 cylingers aren't firing, its idling like its on crack. It shudders and stays around 600 RPM. When I rev it I smell gas, So I know something isn't firing. What is the firing order? I've been through my owners manual 3 times to no avail. And all the parts stores are out of the 87-96 manuals . This has to get done TODAY, as my Talon is getting a new clutch, and this is the only vehicle that can get me to the Talon after the shop is done. Thanks all.

Never heard a truck on crack?

Nonetheless, you can always check the site below for any future references as well as all the helpful people here.

On-line manual


It should be: 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8 just like mine.

 

thanks a BUNCH bro. also, are they labeled 1357 passengers side and 2468 drivers side? or is it 1234 passenger 5678 drivers. thanks again.

 

The passenger side (front to back) is 1-2-3-4 and the driver
side 5-6-7- 8 (front to back) (unless you are in England?)

 

Not in England. Just used to GM cars, they usually label 1357 left bank 2468 right bank. There was one car GM made that fired 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 it was so smooth it could rev to 7000 no prob. Can't rember the car for the life of me...
